Excel: Feed Ration Sheet

I am working on a feed ration spreadsheet. I’ve got it working well enough for our current needs but there are other items on my wish list that I may or may not get to.

Here it is if you need a feed ration spreadsheet.

This spreadsheet lets you setup , farmers, rations, feed components and weekly price per component. Then when you select the farmer and ration put in the amount of feed they need it will calculate the wieghts of the individual components. Then look up the price for the date you choose and the farmers delivery and other charges. and will calculate the price per ton and for the entire batch.

• Some farms bank grain in our bins. When we make feed for them we need to use from thier banked grain and keep track of amount they have banked. This spread sheet should do this automatically.
• I want to get rid of the hand tickets that they make in the feed mill. So i need this spreadsheet to automatically number orders as they are created and the also keep a database of these orders so we can look them up. I started tabs for these two features but haven’t got them working yet.

I license this spreadsheet GPLv2. Any changes or enhancements added to this spreadsheet need to be contributed back to me. And will be made available as an updated version here.

Web site hosting and design.

One of my hobbies is developing and hosting web sites. I preferred to develop based on either Wordpress or Joomla. They take care of the back end of the site and allow me to save much time and make a site that the client can use easily. Also they are used widely enough that if they decide to move to another host they can move their site and there are many other people that can support them.

http://www.kyea.org is one of the more recent site that I upgraded to using Joomla as thier CMS. They moved from a static site that they managed with Macromedia Contribute. But with contribute I had to add the pages as they needed new pages, and I had to add those new pages to the menus each time. With Joomla they have more control. Still without having to worry about not knowing html and if what they post will break their site.
